Quilting - casserole carrier in pinks and browns

I combined this fun lacy heart cotton fabric with a warmer tone that is on its way to being brown.  It is the standard carrier I have been making with a 24" backer, 22" inner fabric and batting.  The batting is one I made up from scraps of batting that I got from my Mom.  I sandwiched the pieces between two pieces of scrap fabric and then stitched them together.  It worked really well and made some hefty battings!!  I was maybe to generous with layers of batting but that will work really well in keeping the casseroles warm!!  The handle is about 1.25" wide doubled over and the loops are about 6" long and .5" wide.  There are a lot of patterns for this design of carrier on line.  You can check out the first one I made here. I used the same QAYG - no binding method that I have been using for my potholders and it works really well.    Therese
